Chapter 75 A Meeting Too Late
Jiang Xianwan: "..." Flower beauty, are you trying to kill me?
Everyone: "...?"
Pei Chang'an and his two companions, who were crouching in the crowd watching the commotion, were speechless.
How did the gossip suddenly turn into gossip about our own home?
Wait... why do these book titles feel so familiar?
Jiang Xianwan looked at Lin Yujin with a resentful expression: You gave him my book? You really gave him my book?
The latter was confused for three seconds, then his eyes slowly rolled, and he opened his mouth wide in horror: Holy crap! That pretty girl stole my book!
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
After being punished with two more strokes of the cane, he tearfully handed over the two stacks of paper, and tried to struggle, saying, "I bought them too."
Lin Yujin, against her conscience, testified, "Yes! I can testify for Junior Sister! She bought it!"
Su Qingliu and Bai Ziye said in unison, their tone firm, "Yes! We bought it!"
On the very first day that his junior sister was abducted, Lin Laosan excitedly betrayed her.
They had all read these books.
So what? It's very well written!
Everyone's eyes fell directly on the line on the cover: "The Ruthless Northern Emperor insists on having a bunch of monkeys with me," and they all gasped in shock.
Good heavens!
Is she not planning to stay in either realm?
"Don't think I don't know you four bastards are in cahoots, and you still have the nerve to act like this..."
Xu Yanzhou stopped cursing and, upon seeing the book on top of his hand, fell silent, clearly not expecting that the Northern Emperor Venerable was also involved.
Have a baby!
A whole bunch more!
Are they monkeys or sows?!
His fingers trembled as he jabbed hard at the four twisted signatures at the bottom of the cover. "Bought it! Then tell me who this 'I wish I'd met sooner' is!"
Jiang Xianwan: "..." Mistake. Is it too late to change the name now?
Everyone: "...?!"
Pei Chang'an's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a pity we didn't meet sooner! Is that the same person who was ordered to be wanted by my master?!"
Jiang Xianwan: "...I'm innocent!"
Dog Wumiao, they actually issued a warrant for her arrest!
In the pavilion of Lianfu Terrace, the two emperors watched the chaotic scene unfold, and remained strangely silent.
Jiang Xianwan insisted that he bought it by chance at a stall.
Finally, a group of direct disciples stood upside down and recited the sect rules from memory one hundred times.
Jiang Xianwan... a thousand times.
See?
This is another way of affirming and valuing genius.
Jiang Xianwan was really about to cry.
She'd copy it a thousand times, it would take her forever.
As Chu Weining wrote, she exclaimed with exasperation, "Jiang Xianwan! You idiot! Why didn't you start with the Emperor's book first!"
Zhu Yinman was heartbroken and furious, her pen trembling as she wrote rapidly. "Exactly! Are you stupid?! Why did you hand it all over?!"
"I really want to hear what the Northern Emperor has to say!"
"And there's also Sect Leader Wu!"
"Wasn't that 'I wish I'd met sooner' you really the one?"
"Is there more? Is there more? Is there more?!"
"Does the Sword Master have one?"
"Anyone from the Three Realms? Your Highness of the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor, hmm?"
"You've kept such a good thing to yourself! Don't you know what sharing means?! Jiang Xianwan, you're so disappointing!!!"
"Don't even mention it, I once saw an inner disciple reading a book called 'Pregnant with the Demon King's Child, and Eventually Married the Immortal Venerable,' wasn't that written by you too?!"
Jiang Xianwan: "..."
"stop!"
Jiang Xianwan switched hands, "Stop arguing! Your noise is giving me a headache!"
"Then tell us now!"
"I will listen to the Northern Emperor!"
"I want to hear what our Emperor has to say!"
"I want to listen to my master!"
"Sword Master Fengyi!!! My eternal idol!!!"
"You're so perverted~ But I like it so much."
"Same here~ We're both pretty weird."
"Give me a break, all of you combined aren't as freakish as Jiang Xianwan!"
A group of disciples chattered incessantly, while Xu Yanzhou and the elders, each clutching a book, sat in the main hall with ferocious expressions.
But... a short while later, the quiet hall was filled with the rustling sound of turning pages.
Hua Buxiu lay on his side, propping his chin up with his hand, his flower-like fingertips gently tapping the tiles. He watched his unruly disciple, whose pen was about to be swung until it was smoking, and smiled wickedly, knowing that he would not leave his name behind.
Ha, you little rascal, how dare you write about him!
If he hadn't accidentally discovered Lin Yujin engrossed in a book, smiling with obvious romantic feelings, he would never have known.
When has that idiot Lin Yujin ever seriously read a book?!
To be honest, it was actually written to his liking.
Under intense questioning from her relatives, Jiang Xianwan stubbornly refused to admit it, insisting that she was the one who bought it.
She couldn't help but sigh, thankfully she had the foresight.
After arriving in the Southern Territory, she didn't dare let Feng Huixue sell these novels adapted from those of high-ranking officials in both the Northern and Southern Territories. Instead, she placed them in black market bookstores and took a cut of the profits.
However, in order to appease her fellow disciples who kept scorning her, and also to pass the unbearable time, Jiang Xianwan sadly gave in.
With one foot awkwardly planted on a bamboo pole, one hand supporting him on the ground, and the other writing, he multitasked and continued his speech.
The forgotten sword demons crept over again and lined up on their own.
Jiang Xianwan caught a glimpse of the purple lightning peeking out from the tree branch, and his heart leaped with joy. "Little Purple! Come quick!"
After listening to stories all night, Xiao Zi asked awkwardly: What?
"Want to hear a story? Aren't you coming? Hurry up, and tie me to the bamboo pole while you're at it."
Xiao Zi: "..."
Unable to resist the urging of the crowd, and even more so the temptation of the perverted story, Xiao Zi slowly climbed down from the tree, coiled herself around a bamboo pole, and tied up Jiang Xianwan.
Although this bamboo is thin, it has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and has good load-bearing capacity.
Jiang Xianwan was completely bound hand and foot. He took out a calligraphy brush with his left hand, and began to write furiously with both hands, his head buried in his work.
The task of storytelling fell to Lin Yujin.
The boy's voice was clear and full of emotion, so vivid that it made listeners blush. The rules he wrote were not written with care.
Compared to the other protégés whose eyes were shining again and who were all brimming with excitement, Jiang Xianwan was filled with bitterness and hatred, and was frantically competing with each other.
Before it got dark, more and more disciples gradually poured into the training ground, their numbers so great it seemed like... they had all come.
Most of them, holding bowls and steamed buns, squatted at a distance, eating and listening.
The rooftops and tree branches were packed full of them.
Some sat directly next to Jiang Xianwan and the others, and offered tea and snacks to their trusted followers.
Some even excitedly raised their hands, wanting to perform in front of everyone.
Pei Chang'an and the other two squatted on the tree branch, their feelings extremely complicated.
They just wanted to know—
Is Jiang Xianwan truly someone I wish I'd met sooner?
Why are there so many... bizarre stories?!
——
As the cranes cried out and dawn broke in the east, Lin Qingran, dressed in flowing white robes, arrived at the martial arts arena.
The news of all the relatives being punished caused a great stir, and she naturally heard about it.
Thinking about the unpleasant things that had happened in the past few days, she gritted her teeth in resentment.
Just as she was enjoying the submission of all the swords with the help of the system, and was about to form a contract with that sword.
At the critical moment, that old geezer Xu Yanzhou actually arrived.
Henjian struggled desperately to break free from her control, but the contract failed, and he was instead attacked by her.
The night before last, she planned to sneak to the back mountain to renew the contract, but to her surprise, all the swords in the Sword Tomb had disappeared!
Even that scarred sword!
She assumed that Xu Yanzhou had hidden all the swords, and with a cold smile, she had the system sense the location of the Trace Sword.
Upon learning that Henjian was at Fengyi Terrace, he immediately set off, intending to take the opportunity to find an excuse to visit Hua Buxiu.
Take the opportunity to summon the Marked Sword in front of him, achieving the effect of stunning him.
